DWG/DXF
Summary
Export a CIM object as a 2D CAD or 3D CAD file (*.dwg, *.dxf).
How to Run
File Menu > Export > DWG/DXF
Explanation
Export 2D CAD Files
Export specific cross-sections of selected objects as 2D *.dwg, *.dxf files.
[Select Target]
Select the target object when creating a CAD file.[Define Plane]
Define the plane to be used to cut selected objects.[DWG File Version]
Select the version of the DWG file to be exported.[Geometry Type]
Set whether to create curves in the cross-section using the Poly Line Mesh method.[Tessellation]
Represents the angle between lines when creating a shape using the Poly Face Mesh method. Smaller angles can create shapes similar to a circle but this increases the number of lines which leads to an increase in the file size.
Export 3D CAD Files
Export selected objects as 3D *.dwg, *dxf files.
[Select Target]
Select the range of objects to export when creating a CAD file.All in Current Mode: Export all objects in the current Mode.
Selected Objects Only: Export selected objects only.
[Categorize Target]
None: All objects are uncategorized and exported as Layer=0.
Structure: Configures and export layers of a DWG file using the structures defined by each object.
A layer in a DWG file does not have a hierarchy, so a single structure level is selected for export.
[DWG File Version]
Select a DWG file version for export.[3D Geometry Type]
Select the type of 3D geometry of the DWG file to be exported. Auto CAD supports and provides both types.BREP(Recommended): A method of exporting a 3D surface in a triangular mesh shape.
Poly Face Mesh: This is a method to represent the surface of a 3D object using triangular mesh.
This is used when interchanging between SW and DWG file formats that cannot import BREP geometries.
[Tessellation]
Represents the angle between lines when creating a shape using the Poly Face Mesh method. Smaller angles can create shapes similar to a circle but this increases the number of lines which leads to an increase in the file size.
[Option]
Export Rebar to Solid: Set whether to export Rebars.
Export Tendon to Solid: Set whether to export Tendons.
Export Stiffener to Solid: Set whether to export Stiffener.
[Search] Enter the file name of the DWG/DXF file to display and save by clicking Apply.
